Jesy Nelson displays her toned abs as poses for a sultry Instagram video… amid claims she’s ‘at the top of Simon Cowell’s X Factor judge list’


The dust may well have settled on her abrupt departure from Little Mix, but Jesy Nelson ensured she was still turning heads on Thursday morning. 

The singer, who is thought to be working on solo material following her exit from the band in December, showed off her toned abs while posing for a short Instagram video.

Sporting a stylish velour tracksuit and black bralet, Jesy, 29, looked better than ever as she gave followers a glimpse of her torso.

The singer added to her look with a selection of distinctive gold jewelry, while her voluminous curled hair was bunched into a messy bun. 

Drawing further attention to her sharply defined features, Jesy opted for generously applied make-up selected from a rich colour palette.  

The posts come after it was claimed that Jesy is on Simon Cowell’s radar to fill one of the judges’ seats on next year’s The X Factor panel.

Jesy found fame on the talent show in 2011 when she and Little Mix became the first-ever band to win the competition, under the tutelage of mentor Tulisa.

And with the show set to be rebooted in 2022, after taking a three-year break due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and a four-year break from its usual civilian format, it seems Simon has ideas to bring Jesy home.

A source told The Sun: ‘It’s a no-brainer for Simon to have someone as successful as Jesy, who the show made, back on the panel.

‘She knows the ups and downs of the music industry inside out, and what it takes to be a successful pop star.

‘Her name has been banded around by Simon and his team as someone who could breathe a bit of new life into the show when it’s back next year.’

MailOnline has contacted reps for Jesy and ITV for comment.
